The Voltorb Flip | The Voltorb Flip minigame is exclusive to the Korean and Western releases of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, replacing the [[slot machine]]s present in the Japanese version. Pre-release reviews of the game described Voltorb Flip as "{{wp|Minesweeper (Computer Game)|Minesweeper}} meets {{wp|Picross}}".<ref name="Voltorb Flip">[http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/article.php?id=14990 Official Nintendo Magazine pre-release review of Voltorb Flip]</ref> | ||
The game features a five-by-five grid of tiles, underneath which are hidden numbers (which multiply the player's score if located) and {{p|Voltorb}} (which {{m|Selfdestruct}} and cause the player to lose all points). The player has a change to figure out where the Voltorb are located by using the clues provided: the number of coins and Voltorb in each line and column are noted at the sides of the playing field. If the player can find all of the 2× and 3× multipliers, they will be able to advance to harder levels. Winning at this game, as before, will earn the player [[Coin]]s, which can be traded for prizes. | The game features a five-by-five grid of tiles, underneath which are hidden numbers (which multiply the player's score if located) and {{p|Voltorb}} (which {{m|Selfdestruct}} and cause the player to lose all points).

==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
* | * Although the Goldenrod and [[Celadon Game Corner]]s were changed in the non-Japanese releases, all versions (Japanese, Korean, and Western) have every map of the Game Corners: in the Japanese versions, the maps related to [[Voltorb Flip]] and [[Mr. Game]] are unused and have no events or warps programmed, while the Korean and Western versions have the original maps with their warps intact, plus the event to interact with the clerk is still present and the interface used to buy [[coin]]s is functional and was translated. {{TM|78|Captivate}} also remains in the unused Goldenrod Game Corner in the Korean and Western versions, and the [[slot machine]]s in the leftover maps trigger [[Voltorb Flip]] in these versions. | ||
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, it is possible to listen to the [[Poké Flute]] here after obtaining the EXPN Card for the [[Pokégear]]. | |||
